Comment Uhm, noooooooooo (Score 1) 90

"..perhaps the company has noticed the enthusiasm around Nvidia’s Shield TV set-top box.."

I have approximately zero friends and coworkers with one of these or any interest it getting one. People I know who want to game do it on a PC, PS4, XBO or Switch. Or a combination of them. Yes its anecdotal, but I have yet to see any first hand "enthusiasm" for this product. Given how cheap the XBox One and PS4 got over the holidays last year who in their right mind would buy a Shield for gaming. Does not compute...

Comment Why did you get rid of star ratings Netflix? (Score 1) 330

Methinks it is to hid the garbage quality of a lot of the content you are producing as of late. Don't get me wrong they still make some good content, but the thumbs up/down "rating" system is crap. Some of the things I've been recommended are laughable.

This quote made me laugh: CEO Hastings, chimed in to add "The critics are pretty disconnected from the mass appeal."

Critics seem to like most of the Marvel movies and those have massive mass appeal, hmmm. I haven't seen Bright and maybe its an alright check your brain at the door movie, but Netflix seems rather butt-hurt about this.

If you are using one of these "old" processors you haven't bought a new one and supported their good friends at Intel recently. Come on, get with the program, consumer. Also pick up a Pro or Enterprise version of Windows while you buying your new Intel processor, chum. ;)

Yeah the NHL's blackout policy is ridiculous. Yes, they are a gate revenue driven league, I get that, but for them to blackout games in Edmonton while I'm here in Calgary on a weeknight is silly. Of course I'm going to take a day off work to go to Edmonton to watch a game on a weeknight, then drive or fly back to make it to work the next day. Nope, not going to happen so why black it out down here? I found that once Rogers started blacking out more local games I've lost interest in local teams.

As poor as the blackout situation is here in Alberta, Saskatchewan and the territories have it by far the worst. The NHL considers the Flames, Oilers and Jets local teams to these areas. The amount of games people in these areas get to watch from these teams is ridiculously low. 22 Jets, 36 Flames and 37 Oilers games. Why bother to support these teams when they won't let you watch them?
